Seldom Seen: Nun's Shield
Thursday, 7:00 p.m.
Museum Boardroom
From the seventeenth century through the early part of the nineteenth century, nun's shields existed as powerful symbols of identity during the colonial
period in Mexico. Join Amy Galpin, Project Curator for American Art, when she takes the nun's shield out of the Museum's vault for one night only. Her lecture will allow for appreciation of this singular object and for a lively discussion of the role of nuns in colonial Mexico and the art they inspired.
